Conduit Press, an Etsy shop, has created a unique spin on the traditional hollowed-out book. Shop owner Talia Halliday hollows out the book into shapes according to the book's title. From sexy silhouette storage in the Madonna book to the blue whale shape in a copy of The Beach House, Conduit Press offers an interesting touch to its products.
But if you're worried someone will discover the book safe, Halliday leaves the first few pages of the book safe to help hide your valuables. The book's pages are then glued together and carved out by hand to hollow the safe out. Each Conduit Press book safe is a vintage book and can hold various products, including the very-large iPad.
